When I started on my quest I wanted to know if there was a God or not, I had to find out, I knew pleasures of the flesh, and there are some really good ones as you know, but they could not full fill me some how. I became aware of how much I thought about the future and other things that really didn't do me much good, and yet I could not stop. I was in prison I know now. Anyway I started meditation, very, very hard at first. But kept at it. One day while painting outside at a golf course everything fell away, the void, before time, I am there, all things are there, but no things, only God, no self. So I guess I just had a question and it was answered, not in the way I could think of, cause I had no idea of the answer I got. So yes I am Spiritual and so is everyone else whether they know it or not but they should know for they would be amazed.

I don't especially strive to be either "spiritual" or "religious". I'm more concerned with understanding the world around me. By nature, I'm something of a materialist. I have a strong preference for things I can see and measure. I have, however, been forced to recognize that there is a non-material component to Creation, and I want to understand that, too. So - I explore. If that makes me "spiritual", it's a side-effect.

Because that is what we are, spiritual as opposed to the temporary encagement of the material body we are put into temporarily.

because thats how i can make myself feel closer to God. doing rituals without any spiritual intentions does not mean anything to me.

spirituality isnt something you choose
it is something that grows with you as you connect with everything else
but it is something that i do want , will always want ... and will continue to allow to grow
